"At the Liberty Bagels location near Penn Station, there’s a bouncer at the door to manage the line, even on weekday mornings. It’s always packed, so plan to take your food to go. Some of the options, like the birthday cake cream cheese, might seem gimmicky, but the big, glossy bagels are pleasantly chewy and packed with flavor. For a spicy, savory option, try the jalapeño everything with chipotle cream cheese. Or, if you’d rather have dessert, go for the Oreo cream cheese. It’s good on just about anything." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
